Best Practices for Taking a USA Crew Visa Picture

To prevent severe facial shadows, use gentle artificial lighting or natural daylight.

Make sure you're facing a plain white or light-colored wall.

The camera should be at eye level. Seventy to eighty percent of the picture should be your face.

Wear dark solid colors; avoid white shirts that merge with the background.

Avoid distortion by using a tripod or having someone snap the image instead of selfies.
